Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live Score: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has performed reasonably well so far this season, but they are now set to play their first home match. Last season, SRH struggled to secure victories on their home turf, winning only 2 out of 6 matches. The team performed well on pitches conducive to batting but failed to defend low totals due to a weak bowling attack. This time around, the same scenario could repeat itself until Pat Cummins becomes available.

The team’s real issue lies in its batting, which has yet to truly gel together. LSG needs to find cohesion within their batting lineup to ensure they can post competitive totals.
